American officials are preparing for talks with Russia to discuss ending the war in Ukraine. European leaders are concerned about President Trump's quick push for a settlement that doesn't clearly involve them or Ukrainian officials. The Russian ambassador to Saudi Arabia met with the kingdom's foreign minister ahead of this week's planned talks, attended by U.S. officials including Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Despite intensive diplomatic efforts, Rubio indicated that nothing definitive had been arranged yet, marking an aggressive push for a deal, primarily led by Trump.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated in an interview, 'The United States would explore an opportunity for a broader conversation involving Ukraine and the end of the war.'
The preparations for talks with Russia signal Trump's accelerated timetable for negotiations, seemingly excluding European leaders and Ukrainian officials from the process.
